BASE MAINNET 09/21/24 INCIDENT POSTMORTEM

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Last week, the Base L2 experienced a 17-minute block-building outage due to a misconfiguration in its newly implemented conductor sequencer cluster. This misconfiguration resulted in a failure of leadership transfer between sequencer instances. While the chain's integrity and user funds remained secure, the incident highlighted the need for improved configuration management processes and more robust failover mechanisms. Base has committed to fixing the issue and preventing similar problems from happening.
